'No problem' – Visma plays down Vingegaard's Giro TT suit dilemma

A lot has been made of Jonas Vingegaard's requirement to wear an organisation-provided skinsuit during the Giro's stage 10 ITT, with the Dane's most-loyal lieutenant Victor Campenaerts indicating that perhaps the team had "overlooked" the possibility of Vingegaard leading the mountains classification by the first rest day. However, Visma-Lease a Bike did not seem too concerned at the start of the TT in Viareggio.

"There is absolutely no big problem," Visma sports director Arthur van Dongen told Sporza. “It would be preferable to ride in our own suit, because a lot of energy and time has been put in there. But the organisation has provided a quality suit. We have to make do with that.”

When the issue arose at the weekend, Campenaerts added, "Jonas says: 'I drove my best time trials in a leader's jersey,'" a sentiment echoed, more or less, by Van Dongen.

"Yesterday, people from the supplier [Castelli] came to the hotel to see what fits well," Van Dongen said. “Everything has been done to make it as suitable as possible for him."
